NEW YARN Juniper Moon Yearling

Juniper Moon Farm YearlingI’ve been anticipating this yarn for a long while and I was not dissapponted – it’s lovely! Juniper Moon Farm Yearling is a really soft, really pretty blend of wool and cotton. It’s so soft, you can use it for just about anything and anyone: babies, kids, men, women, pets with alopecia, aliens, you name it. It’s a 2ply, bulky weight yarn, most of the colours have a lightly heathered look which gives it depth, and there’s a faint tweedy texture on the surface which creates some textural interest.

Juniper Moon Farm started out as a yarn CSA, an actual farm with sheep, goats, pigs, cows, chickens, ducks and bees (they also seem to have published an interesting free digital magazine By Hand). Check out their website and you’ll see how cool their are.
